Pretty sure that was Adam Orth.Darks63 said:He is more a Phil Fish kind of celebrity in gaming due to him being a jackass shill. He was one of the ppl telling console gamers to suck it up and accept it when the always online of the Bone was announced.Xsjadoblayde said:Well i played them during a more casual gamer phase, not much. I didn't know they made anybody a celebrity though.OuendanCyrus said:You seriously never heard of him before? Cliff Bleszinski is the lead guy behind the Gears of War games, but I don't really blame you if you don't play those games.
I don't even like the guy and even I'm surprised by the sheer degree of seething, unbridled hatred the man gets around here. It's embarrassing.AzrealMaximillion said:I know it seems cool to hate on Cliffy B around here due to the disdain for old school FPS around here, but the guy is an insanely accomplished game designer.
I think we can at least assume he wouldn't have turned the series into pachinko machines. So there's that...And seeing as how bad Silent Hill has been the last 10 years, maybe he wouldn't have been the worst choice.
Uh, that was Adam Orth.Darks63 said:He is more a Phil Fish kind of celebrity in gaming due to him being a jackass shill. He was one of the ppl telling console gamers to suck it up and accept it when the always online of the Bone was announced.

Gotta admit that this is true. There was a level in the original GoW set at night in a raging storm (appropriately named Downpour), and it still remains one of the most engrossing and atmospheric levels I've run across in a game. I just wish that the game could've indulged itself more often in that sort of display.The Wooster said:the original Gears of War was absolutely dripping with atmosphere in the rare moments when it slowed down and let its art and sound design do the talking.
Here is 3 stories where he raged about the retraction of the always online but dont let that get in the way of your passive aggressive snarky jabs at me.Vigormortis said:I would have been cool with that team up. Both men are distinct personalities within the industry, and both are quite adept at crafting unique experiences and building atmosphere; at least visually.
In the very least I would expect the game to be more playable and less janky than the last few SH games.

Regardless of how some around here feel about Gears of War and other Epic Games IPs, Bleszinski is a talented designer.
Though, some of the worst maps in the original Unreal Tournament were made by him, so I can't give him too much credit.

How does one confuse Bleszinski with Orth?
The most Bleszinski ever said was that Orth may not have been far off the mark in predicting an "always online" future for many devices. He didn't say Orth was completely right, nor that he was justified in insulting console gamers, just that always online devices may be an inevitability.

Raged? His tweets seemed pretty straightforward and calm to me. In fact, some of them even came true. Hell, he even laughed at the audacity of one of the MS reps saying "if you're offline get a 360". He wasn't agreeing with the statement. He was laughing at the absurdity of it.Darks63 said:snip

Dislike him all you want, but that doesn't make him a shill. I hate it when people use that as a get out clause. Noone is being fucking paid to state opinions you don't like aside from the PR people.Darks63 said:He is more a Phil Fish kind of celebrity in gaming due to him being a jackass shill.

Especially when it's CliffyB of all people. It's almost like Trump being gracious in defeat in a political debate. Impressive, but rather rare.Quellist said:Nice one Cliffy B. Can't be easy to admit that you would have been a poor fit for SH.
Humility is a rare thing in the games industry and not what I would have expected to see from him.
How screwed up is it that Cliff comes off as the reasonable one here.The Wooster said:"I woulda fucked up SH," he added.
The picture is from almost twenty years ago. I honestly don't know why that's the one used, except maybe in a "Do you really think this guy can handle Silent Hill?" But even then, I think this picture does a better job of explaining why he'd be a bad fit for the series:Xsjadoblayde said:He looks, for lack of a better word, a bit of a douche. Never heard of him before either. At first i thought it was that terrible band Cliffy Biro or Biffy Clyro, i dont fckin know. So neither is a good first impression.
Though even to this day he's cursed with Douche Face. Again, can't place why, but I just have this inexplicable urge to give him a black eye from merely looking at his mug. Doesn't help that he's a hack, but even without that he's got an insufferable visageMysticSlayer said:The picture is from almost twenty years ago.

Its so sad to see. This attitude of hating Cliffy B started when Gears of War came out. People hate on that series for being the most popular "grimdark untraviolence" game when that's what all the AAA games were going for at the time.Mr.Pandah said:Man, people love to hate on this guy, but he really brought some great games forth. Kinda sad to just see people jump on board of a hate train for him. He sounds like a great guy anytime I've ever read about him. He just has this down to earth kinda feel in terms of being real with who he is.
